Council Bluffs Holds Open House to Review Bluffs Tomorrow 2030

The City of Council Bluffs will hold a Community Open House on Wednesday, August 20th at 6:00 p.m. for public comment on the city’sBluffs Tomorrow: 2030 Plan.

Don Gross, Director of Community Development for Council Bluffs, says the plan contains goals and objectives for how the city wants to grow. 

The plan includes information on land use, transportation, open space, recreation, and economic development. It also addresses historic preservation and flood plain management.

"We have been working on this for at least a year and a half.  We had open houses to begin with.  We had do-it-yourself kits.  We spoke to any groups that wanted to invite us to talk about it.  We had online ability to go online and put things on a map that you like or dislike.”

Gross says the open house represents the last part of the process.  The city gathered public input early on and came up with goals, objectives and directions for Council Bluffs in the future. 

He says this community meeting is a good way to test out the plan and see if the city got it right.
